FIVE BEST SENTENCES

 1. You cannot legislate the poor into
 prosperity, by legislating the wealthy
 out of prosperity.

 2. What one person receives without
 working for, another person must
 work for without receiving.

 3. The government cannot give to
 anybody anything that the
 government does not first take
 from somebody else.

 4. You cannot multiply wealth by
 dividing it.

 5. When half of the people get the
 idea that they do not have to
 work, because the other half is
 going to take care of them, and
 when the other half gets the idea
 that it does no good to work 
because somebody else is going to
get what they work for, that is the
beginning of the end of any nation!
